Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

Well, it has been a long week and a long time coming for a lot of things. But, first, let's go back in time to catch up on some picture posting.

For those of you with slow connections, I apologize, but we have so many photos to catch up on, I had to create slideshows. If you click on a slideshow, you will be able to view the pictures in album format.

So, in the last month, we played with bubbles, Ba-chan came to town, and we got to go to Mommy and Daddy's company picnic at Sandy Lake Park.



Then it was time to go into the hospital and finish the last of KP's major surgeries. From here on out we are hoping for mostly minor adjustments. Here's crossing our fingers.



KP finally got sprung from the hospital on Saturday, right before Father's Day. We invited the family over to celebrate his release, and Father's Day.

We finally got to break out the champagne that we bought for KP's birth, 9 months ago! It was nice to be surrounded by the family and finally be able to toast our little man!



In the morning we got to pack up all of the ostomy supplies. Little by little KP's room is looking less like a hospital room and more like a little boy's room. We're not ready to send the supplies of to UOAA just yet, though. We're going to wait until the 2-week checkup to make sure that this surgery took just to be sure.

This has been such a big part of our life so far. It is strange that this part of our life is over. To those of you reading this, that probably seems weird. But, it's true. During Dylan's toast yesterday, he said that it looked like we were on our way out of Holland and on our way to Italy. And, I know it seems weird to most of you, but Holland hasn't been so bad. We got to know the language, the people, and how to get around. Holland has been a pretty comfortable place. And now that we're on our way to Italy...well, we have to start all over again. And that is kind of scary.

    Getting comfortable in Holland with all it's bumpy roads could only help with navigating Italy.
